Live The Vibrant Life
Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be. It prevents us from achieving the life God intended when He endowed each of us with our own unique genius.
“…Books can become worn and faded but never grow old. Miguel de Cervantes teaches that everyone, regardless of nobility or peasantry, is important. It’s a message of hope, and what is life without hope? Do you agree, Angelina?”
Angelina thought of all she wanted to accomplish in life. “Hope is everything,” she said.
Fiction is the truth inside the lie. ~ Stephen King
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten: even so, they have made me. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
How many feelings can one heart hold?… Infinite, Luna thought. The way the universe is infinite. It is light and dark and endless motion; it is space and time, and space within space, and time within time. And she knew: there is no limit to what the heart can carry.
A book must be an ice axe to break the sea frozen inside us. What we need are book that hit us like a most painful misfortune, like the death of someone we loved more that we love ourselves, that makes us feel as though we had been banished to the woods, far from any human presence, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. ~ Franz Kafka

The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it. ~ Elizabeth Drew
There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people’s books and write your own. ~ Albert Einstein
